On the 2nd beat of the bar in AI, there are no naturals lowering f to f and d1 to d1. Chopin's inaccuracy is proven by an analogy with b. 159, by the presence of d both in the D major key in b. 165 and F major key starting from the 2nd beat of b. 166 and, above all, by the presence of these naturals in all the remaining sources.

AI is lacking in the  lowering d1 to d1. We regard it as the composer's oversight – after two multiple progressions, in which the 1st note of the bar is a fourth higher than the preceding one, Chopin could have considered d1 to be obvious here.
